On the edge of the Forest of Magic laid a curious shop named Kourindou, operated by an equally curious man. The owner, a certain half-youkai half-human named Rinnosuke Morichika, was a collector and dealer of items that fell in to Gensokyo from the Outside World.
While that might seem amazing, an...

TL;DR: I'm going to be spending my free time (a.k.a. time where I'm not writing the John Brown Isekai) to sometimes write a slice-of-life Touhou fanfic that I've been planning for some time.

Pretty excited to begin working on these, I've only focused on writing the chapters up until now without working on the images. These are in no particular order; and I'll be updating this post as I make more.
UPDATE (25/06/2023): Updated to add all illustrations up to chapter 26.
